The dynamic tile function first appeared in the Windows Phone 7 system and was designed around the “mobile-first” experience. Subsequently, this block design was first introduced into the Windows 8 system, and this feature was also carried in the Windows 10 system released in 2015.
This feature is turned on by default, and can dynamically display news, weather, and other updates in the start menu. However, dynamic tiles have always been a controversial feature, and many people have sneered at this feature, but there are also people who like this dynamic information display method very much.
There was news last year that Microsoft will no longer continue to develop this feature internally. In today’s Windows 11 system, the default start menu has abandoned this icon and grid layout dynamic tiles. But if you personally prefer the dynamic tile feature, you can also restore it in this sneak mirror.

There is a feature called Classic Start Menu in the system. If you enable this feature in the Windows Setting or the registry, you should be able to restore the old version of the start menu. In the sneak version, you can create a new DWord key-value implementation in the registry editor.
- Open the Registry Editor
- Open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ path
- Open the Advanced\ folder
- Create a new DWord key-value and name it “Start_ShowClassicMode”
- Double-click the newly created DWord key-value and assign it to 1
- Use Task Manager to restart the Windows Explorer process
Currently, the classic start menu requires changes to the registry, and Microsoft has not added this option to the leaked version of the settings application. The final version of Windows 11 is likely to include a switch between the old and new start menus, which may be useful for consumers and businesses alike.
